DEFECT IS COVERED UNDER CAMPAIGN 00V317000; MY VEHICLE FITS MANUFACTURER/MAKE/MODEL/YEAR, HOWEVER IT DOESN'T FALL WITHIN THE VIN RANGE THE DEALER IS CHECKING - I WAS CHARGED FOR THE RECALL ITEM. THIS IS A REQUEST FOR ENFORCEMENT OF RECALL, AND SUBSEQUENT REIMBURSMENT FROM THE DEALER ON CHARGES WRONGFULLY INCURRED.

#748336 | July 18, 2001

ABSOLUTELY THE WORST CAR I HAVE EVER BOUGHT I HAVE SPENT OVER $6000 IN REPAIRS AND GONE JUST 40K MILES! STAY AWAY FROM THIS CAR WHEN I CALLED THE 1-800 LINE THEY WERE NO HELP AND CUSTOMER SERVICE REFUSED TO LET ME SPEAK WITH ANYBODY IN A HIGHER POSTION. WHEN I SAID CAN I WRITE A LETTER THEY SAID SURE BUT IT COMES TO US AND THE DECISION IS FINAL ABOUT YOUR WARRANTTY DEFECTS. NO SAFETY DEFECT LISTED. *AK

IGNITION SWITCH DID NOT RETURN FROM STARTER ENGAGED POSITION, STARTER STAYED ENGAGED WHICH LEAD TO ITS FAILURE AFTER PROBLEM OCCURED SEVERAL TIMES. ALSO, HEADLIGHTS, TURN SIGNALS AND A/C SYSTEM DID NOT WORK. APPARENTLY OTHER MODELS OF AUDIS WERE SUBJECT TO A SAFETY RECALL FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. WHY NOT THE A4? REPAIR COST: $800.00.
